Miniature Wide-Angle 3.5mm M12 Lens For Up To 1/1.7"

The CIL334 is a 3.5mm wide-angle M12 lens that covers 1/1.7" and 1/1.8" sensors in 16:9 mode. At F/2.2, the hybrid glass/plastic design resolves 6-8MP at 2.4μm pixel pitch across a 9.2mm image circle, so it fits the full diagonal of these larger embedded sensors without moving to a bigger mount.

The lens gives 141° at the 8.0mm image circle, and distortion is -7% F-Θ at that same image height. That is a workable number for wide-angle embedded vision, and F-theta is the right way to judge a fisheye-adjacent design because it shows how far edge pixels move from an equidistant projection. This lens makes sense for drone downward-look cameras, panoramic stitching, and wide-area monitoring. Check coverage the field of view calculator.

The CIL334 weighs 4.3g and has a 19.5mm total track length. That low mass matters on aerial robotics and other payloads where the lens competes directly with battery and sensor weight. The single M12C variant ships IP67 sealed and adds a hydrophobic coating on the first surface, so rain, condensation, and spray roll off instead of beading.

The mechanics match Commonlands CLA019 lens holders, FLIR Blackfly S, Allied Vision Alvium, iDS uEye LE, The Imaging Source, and Basler Dart S-mount cameras. An 8-13mm tall holder works for standard e-con Systems S-mount boards.

Commonlands ships this lens same day from San Diego before 12 PM PST. Every unit is 100% MTF tested. Contact our US-based optical engineers for volume pricing or custom integration support.
